The creative gears just keep on turning over at American Apparel HQ, with the launch of this highly...er...innovative style of butt-less thong tights. Call us naive, but we still can't figure out their purpose—presumably, they're meant to give a line-less look to AA's tighter skirts and dresses, but isn't that also the point of regular tights? Or perhaps they were just created to give Dov an excuse to hold a butt casting session. We're leaning towards the latter.
